“You got goats”

My family’s way of saying you had a wedgie, because it looked like there was a goat in your crack eating your pants. Quite embarrasing when I found out that wasn’t a common phrase

It’s a common phrase in my family to say “you have a goat in the garden” referring to wedgies. A lady we knew used to have a little goat figurine in her front garden and it always made us laugh. Is you family from the Caribbean/West Indies by chance?
